When they returned home, Rong Yan had indeed come out of the palace, and Tang Mumu went straight to the study to find him.

"You're back so early? It looks like you didn't have much fun today?"

Seeing Tang Mumu enter the room, Rong Yan immediately put down the wolf hair brush in his hand, stood up and walked towards her.

"What's wrong? Are you really not having fun? Is Princess Linlang difficult to get along with? Or did you have a fight with Ji Chu?"

Seeing that Tang Mumu looked upset, Rong Yan took her to sit beside the table and placed the cakes that the maid had just brought next to her.

"No, Princess Linlang is a very nice woman, she is a loyal and righteous woman. We made friends with her today and didn't quarrel with Ah Chu."

After a pause, Tang Mumu tentatively said, "It was just that a small accident happened today. We ran into Jiang Yu, and then we got into a fight."

Hearing this, Rong Yan almost put the cake in his hand back. He thought of the scene of the previous lawsuit between several people, and his heart sank. He put the cake in Tang Mumu's palm and asked, "Why weren't you arrested by the governor today?"

"The scene was a bit chaotic today. The people were scared away. There was no one on the whole street. The people from the Governor's Office did not come."

Was the scene quite intense? Rong Yan's hand trembled again as he poured the tea. He pushed the poured tea towards Tang Mumu with his other hand and smiled, "Was the fight intense?"

Tang Mumu nodded vigorously. Today's fight was certainly very fierce. She still remembered that Jiang Yu's head was like a pig's head, and her knees were so bruised that she would not be able to walk for three to five days.

Rong Yan had already calmed down. He knew that if his Tang Mumu didn't cause trouble for one day, she would no longer be herself.

Rong Yan touched the teacup and poured himself a glass of water. "Don't say anything yet. Wait until I finish drinking the water."

Tang Mumu stared at him, waiting for him to drink the water.

"Okay, now you can tell me what the fierce scene was like. As long as he wasn't beaten to the point of being unable to get out of bed, it's not a big deal." Halfway through, he continued, "As long as he wasn't beaten to death, it's not a big deal. In the end, both parties are at fault for the fight. As long as it's not just your fault, I can still argue with Prime Minister Jiang."

Hearing this, Tang Mumu smiled with satisfaction and patted Rong Yan on the shoulder. "I would have felt relieved if you had said this earlier. Don't worry, it's definitely not just my fault today. It was Jiang Yuxian who was talking nonsense. He was just full of shit."

"So we were the first to do it?"

"Yeah, she said that kind of thing, no one would be able to stand it, it's just that she can't handle a beating, I saw it clearly, Ah Chu didn't use much force and her face was swollen."

Rong Yan was stunned for a moment, then caught the key information, "So you hit someone in the face?"

"Where else should I fight?"

Tang Mumu said as if it was a matter of course. Rong Yan was speechless for a moment and nodded silently.

"She has a very powerful guard by her side. I am definitely no match for him. If it weren't for him, Ah Chu wouldn't have been injured today."

Tang Mumu became angry when she said this. That dead-faced guy actually dared to hurt Achu. She would remember this grudge and would get revenge sooner or later.

Hearing that Ji Chu was injured, Rong Yan frowned, "Why did such a big conflict happen? Is Ji Chu seriously injured?"

"Actually, it's not Ah Chu's fault. It was Jiang Yu who first said that Ji Chu's father, General Ji, was a traitor. Ah Chu naturally couldn't stand it, so he started fighting. Ah Chu got hit on the arm by the guard's sword. If Ah Chu hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid his entire arm would have been lost."

Rong Yan didn't speak for a long while. His frowning expression made her worried. "What's wrong with you? Isn't today's incident so easy to deal with? Although it's our fault for hurting someone, Ah Chu was also injured. Even if Prime Minister Jiang ran to the mansion to seek justice for his granddaughter, it shouldn't be too much, right?"

"Rong Yan, if you dare to hand me over and not help me, you will die. Do you hear me?"

Tang Mumu glared at Rong Yan fiercely, as if she would definitely grab his hair and beat him up if he dared to say no.

"How could I hand you over to Prime Minister Jiang? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? I was wondering if Song Jinyu would go straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion to demand an explanation."

After Rong Yan's reminder, Tang Mumu felt that Song Jinyu was definitely capable of doing this.

"Then what should we do? Should we stop him? Although I also want to avenge Ah Chu immediately, the Prime Minister's Mansion must be in a mess at this moment. After all, she has a grandfather who is the Prime Minister, and she is a princess personally appointed by her father. If Song Jinyu goes to the door at this time and fails to get any benefits, not only will he not get any benefits, he will probably be gossiped by people with ulterior motives."

She didn't care about the gossip about Song Jinyu, but she was afraid that those people would take her words out of context and gossip about Ji Chu.

"After all, Ah Chu's wound was on her arm, which was invisible through her clothes, but Jiang Yu's wounds were all on her face. They looked scary but were actually not that serious. What was most terrifying was what she said. Ah Chu was already injured, and I didn't want her to hear any bad words again."

"Achu is usually such a good-tempered person, but she was really angry after what Jiang Yu said today. If she hadn't been taking care of the Taiwei Mansion, I think she really wanted to beat Jiang Yu to death. I can feel how sad she was at that time."

Tang Mumu suddenly slammed the table, and Rong Yan was startled by her sudden temper.

"If you ask me, Jiang Yu deserves it. She has a big mouth. Do you know that she also said bad things about my elder sister? She also said that my elder sister seduced him by any means to marry Prince Chen. It really pissed me off. I really want to tear her broken mouth apart. A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory."

Rong Yan silently wiped the water drops on the table without saying a word.

"Why don't you speak?" Tang Mumu's voice brought Rong Yan back to his senses.

Rong Yan pursed his lips and whispered tentatively: "Mu Mu, I actually have something to tell you, but I forgot for a moment."

Tang Mumu frowned, stuffed the whole piece of pastry in her hand into her mouth, and signaled Rong Yan with her eyes to continue.

"There have been some bad rumors in the palace recently about my eldest brother and your eldest sister. What Jiang Yu said must have been heard from the palace."

"What rumor?" Tang Mumu's face was cold. What Jiang Yu said was too harsh. If she had heard it from the palace, wouldn't her elder sister's reputation be ruined?

"They are just some false rumors. You don't need to know them. My eldest brother has already spoken. No one in the palace dares to talk nonsense anymore."

"What rumors? What did they say about my sister? Did they say, like Jiang Yu did, that my elder sister seduced the King of Chen? Or did they say that my elder sister did whatever it took to marry the King of Chen?"

Rong Yan sighed. He knew that Tang Mumu would be angry if she knew about this, but if he didn't say it, she would be even more annoyed if she knew about it in the future.

"On the night of the welcoming banquet, someone saw Tang Qingzhi coming out of the eldest brother's yard, and the night watchman said he heard some strange noises in the eldest brother's yard. Also... the imperial physician found Hehuan Powder in the wine that the eldest brother had drunk. As a result, some unpleasant rumors arose."

"Some gossipers said that the imperial decree to grant the marriage was issued so hastily because your eldest sister had planned it long ago. Your eldest brother was tricked."
